Rational Design 2-Hydroxypropylphosphonium Salts as Cancer Cell Mitochondria-Targeted Vectors: Synthesis, Structure, and Biological Properties

ABSTRACT: It has been shown for a wide range of epoxy compounds that their interaction with triphenylphosphonium triflate occurs with a high chemoselectivity and leads to the formation of (2-hydroxypropyl)triphenylphosphonium triflates 3 substituted in the 3-position with an alkoxy, alkylcarboxyl group, or halogen, which were isolated in a high yield. Using the methodology for the disclosure of epichlorohydrin with alcohols in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate, followed by the substitution of iodine for chlorine and treatment with triphenylphosphine, 2-hydroxypropyltriphenylphosphonium iodides 4 were also obtained. The molecular and supramolecular structure of the obtained phosphonium salts was established, and their high antitumor activity was revealed in relation to duodenal adenocarcinoma. The formation of liposomal systems based on phosphonium salt 3 and L-α-phosphatidylcholine (PC) was employed for improving the bioavailability and reducing the toxicity. They were produced by the thin film rehydration method and exhibited cytotoxic properties. This rational design of phosphonium salts 3 and 4 has promising potential of new vectors for targeted delivery into mitochondria of tumor cells.

Novel Mitochondria-Targeted Amphiphilic Aminophosphonium Salts and Lipids Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Antitumor Activity and Toxicity.

Project description:The creation of mitochondria-targeted vector systems is a new tool for the treatment of socially significant diseases. Phosphonium groups provide targeted delivery of drugs through biological barriers to organelles. For this purpose, a new class of alkyl(diethylAmino)(Phenyl) Phosphonium halides (APPs) containing one, two, or three diethylamino groups was obtained by the reaction of alkyl iodides (bromides) with (diethylamino)(phenyl)phosphines under mild conditions (20 °C) and high yields (93-98%). The structure of APP was established by NMR and XRD. A high in vitro cytotoxicity of APPs against M-HeLa, HuTu 80, PC3, DU-145, PANC-1, and MCF-7 lines was found. The selectivity index is in the range of 0.06-4.0 μM (SI 17-277) for the most active APPs. The effect of APPs on cancer cells is characterized by hyperproduction of ROS and depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane. APPs induce apoptosis, proceeding along the mitochondrial pathway. Incorporation of APPs into lipid systems (liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles) improves cytotoxicity toward tumor cells and decrease toxicity against normal cell lines. The IC50s of lipid systems are lower than for the reference drug DOX, with a high SI (30-56) toward MCF-7 and DU-145. APPs exhibit high selective activity against Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus 209P and B. segeus 8035, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA-1, MRSA-2), comparable to the activity of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic norfloxacin. A moderate in vivo toxicity in CD-1 mice was established for the lead APP.

Copper ion salts of arylthiotetrathiafulvalenes: synthesis, structure diversity and magnetic properties.

Project description:The combination of CuBr2 and arylthio-substituted tetrathiafulvalene derivatives (1-7) results in a series of charge-transfer (CT) complexes. Crystallographic studies indicate that the anions in the complexes, which are derived from CuBr2, show diverse configurations including linear [Cu(I)Br2](-), tetrahedral [Cu(II)Br4](2-), planar [Cu(II)2Br6](2-), and coexistence of planar [Cu(II)Br4](2-) and tetrahedral [Cu(II)Br3](-) ions. On the other hand, the TTFs show either radical cation or dication states that depend on their redox potentials. The central TTF framework on most of TTFs is nearly planar despite the charge on them, whereas the two dithiole rings on molecule 4 in complex 4·CuBr4 are significantly twisted with a dihedral angle of 38.3°. The magnetic properties of the complexes were elucidated. The temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility of complex 5·Cu2Br6 shows the singlet-triplet transition with coupling constant J = -248 K, and that of 3·(CuBr4)0.5·CuBr3·THF shows the abrupt change at 270 K caused by the modulation of intermolecular interactions. The thermo variation of magnetic susceptibility for the other complexes follows the Curie-Weiss law, indicating the weak antiferromagnetic interaction at low temperature.

Rational Design of Biological Crystals with Enhanced Physical Properties by Hydrogen Bonding Interactions.

Project description:Hydrogen bonds are non-covalent interactions and essential for assembling supermolecules into ordered structures in biological systems, endowing crystals with fascinating physical properties, and inspiring the construction of eco-friendly electromechanical devices. However, the interplay between hydrogen bonding and the physical properties is not fully understood at the molecular level. Herein, we demonstrate that the physical property of biological crystals with double-layer structures could be enhanced by rationally controlling hydrogen bonding interactions between amino and carboxyl groups. Different hydrogen bonding interactions result in various thermal, mechanical, electronic, and piezoelectric properties. In particular, the weak interaction between O and H atoms contributes to low mechanical strength that permits important ion displacement under stress, giving rise to a strong piezoelectric response. This study not only reveals the correlation between the hydrogen bonding and physical properties in double-layer structures of biological crystals but also demonstrates the potential of these crystals as functional biomaterials for high-performance energy-harvesting devices. Theoretical calculations and experimental verifications in this work provide new insights into the rational design of biomaterials with desirable physical properties for bioelectrical devices by modulating intermolecular interactions.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of PSMA/hepsin-targeted heterobivalent ligands.

Project description:Cell surface biomarkers such as prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and hepsin have received considerable attention as targets for imaging prostate cancer (PCa) due to their high cell surface expression in such tumors and easy access for imaging probes. Novel amidine-containing indole analogs (13-21) as hepsin inhibitors were designed and synthesized. These compounds showed in vitro inhibitory activity against hepsin with IC50 values from 5.9 to 70 μM. Based on the SAR of amidine-derived analogs, the novel heterobivalent compound 30, targeting both hepsin and PSMA, was synthesized by linking compound 18 with Lys-urea-Glu, the key scaffold for the specific binding to PSMA, followed by the conjugation of the optical dye SulfoCy7. Compound 30 exhibited inhibitory activities against PSMA and hepsin, with IC50 values of 28 nM and 2.8 μM, respectively. In vitro cell uptake and preliminary in vivo optical imaging studies of 30 showed selective binding and retention in both PSMA and hepsin high-expressing PC3/ML-PSMA-HPN cells as compared with low-expressing PC3/ML cells.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 99mTc(I) Tricarbonyl Complexes Dual-Targeted at Tumoral Mitochondria.

Project description:For effective Auger therapy of cancer, the Auger-electron emitters must be delivered to the tumor cells in close proximity to a radiosensitive cellular target. Nuclear DNA is considered the most relevant target of Auger electrons to have augmented radiotoxic effects and significant cell death. However, there is a growing body of evidence that other targets, such as the mitochondria, could be relevant subcellular targets in Auger therapy. Thus, we developed dual-targeted 99mTc(I) tricarbonyl complexes containing a triphenylphosphonium (TPP) moiety to promote accumulation of 99mTc in the mitochondria, and a bombesin peptide to provide specificity towards the gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPr) overexpressed in prostate cancer cells. The designed dual-targeted complex, 99mTc-TPP-BBN, is efficiently internalized by human prostate cancer PC3 cells through a specific GRPr-mediated mechanism of uptake. Moreover, the radioconjugate provided an augmented accumulation of 99mTc in the mitochondria of the target tumor cells, most probably following its intracellular cleavage by cathepsin B. In addition, 99mTc-TPP-BBN showed an enhanced ability to reduce the survival of PC3 cells, in a dose-dependent manner.

Structure-based rational design of a phosphotriesterase.

Project description:In silico substrate docking of both stereoisomers of the pesticide chlorfenvinphos (CVP) in the phosphotriesterase from Agrobacterium radiobacter identified two residues (F131 and W132) that prevent productive substrate binding and cause stereospecificity. A variant (W131H/F132A) was designed that exhibited ca. 480-fold and 8-fold increases in the rate of Z-CVP and E-CVP hydrolysis, respectively, eliminating stereospecificity.

Mitochondria-targeted antiaging gene therapy with adeno-associated viral vectors.

Project description:Transgenic expression of catalase in mitochondria using a transgenic strategy extends life span and prevents aging-related pathology in mice. However, transgenic overexpression is not suitable for a clinical application. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is the most promising gene delivery vehicle. Here we outline strategies on the generation of an AAV vector expressing the mitochondria-targeted catalase gene (AV.RSV.MCAT). We also describe methods for evaluating physiological impact of AV.RSV.MCAT on muscle contractility and running performance in mice.

Discovery of a Novel Chemotype of Histone Lysine Methyltransferase EHMT1/2 (GLP/G9a) Inhibitors: Rational Design, Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Co-crystal Structure.

Project description:Since the discovery of compound BIX01294 over 10 years ago, only a very limited number of nonquinazoline inhibitors of H3K9-specific methyltransferases G9a and G9a-like protein (GLP) have been reported. Herein, we report the identification of a novel chemotype for G9a/GLP inhibitors, based on the underinvestigated 2-alkyl-5-amino- and 2-aryl-5-amino-substituted 3 H-benzo[ e][1,4]diazepine scaffold. Our research efforts resulted in the identification 12a (EML741), which not only maintained the high in vitro and cellular potency of its quinazoline counterpart, but also displayed improved inhibitory potency against DNA methyltransferase 1, improved selectivity against other methyltransferases, low cell toxicity, and improved apparent permeability values in both parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) and blood-brain barrier-specific PAMPA, and therefore might potentially be a better candidate for animal studies. Finally, the co-crystal structure of GLP in complex with 12a provides the basis for the further development of benzodiazepine-based G9a/GLP inhibitors.

Design, synthesis, and biological activity of novel ammonium salts containing sterically hindered phenolic fragment and phosphoryl group.

Project description:Here, we present an approach to novel "hybrid" biologically active compounds based on a combination of sterically hindered phenol and ammonium pharmacophores in a single molecule. The novel target ammonium salts were obtained by the reaction of 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-N-(2-(dimethylamino)alkyl)propanamide with aliphatic bromides or by the reaction of phosphorylated methylenequinones with diamines followed by alkylation with organic bromides. A series of twenty-three novel multifunctional ammonium salts that contain a sterically hindered phenolic fragment were assessed for antimicrobial, cytotoxic and antioxidant activity. The compounds exhibited antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 209p, Bacillus cereus ATCC 8035, Escherichia coli CDC F-50, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, Aspergillus niger BKMF-1119, Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. gypseum 1773, and Candida albicans 855-653 in the concentration range of 442-0.70 μM. The maximum activity of an ammonium salt among all the types of structure was observed in cases in which a decyl radical was present on the onium nitrogen atom. The most active compounds exhibited antioxidant activity at levels of 0.25 and 0.50 mM and did not display cytotoxic properties towards WI-38 (human embryonic lung cells) and Chang liver (human liver cells) cell lines in the concentration range of 0.70-11.3 μM.

Rational design and synthesis of yellow-light emitting triazole fluorophores with AIE and mechanochromic properties.

Project description:Previously, we reported that N-2-aryl triazoles (NATs) exhibited good fluorescence activity in the UV/blue light range. In an effort to achieve biocompetitive NAT fluorophores with green/yellow emission, a new class of 4-keto-2-(4'-N,N-diphenyl)-phenyl triazoles were designed and synthesized. Herein, we present our study on these novel fluorophores which demonstrated excellent luminescence emission both in solution (? up to 96%) and in the solid state (? up to 43%). Furthermore, these new compounds showed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties and reversible mechanochromic luminescence properties, which suggested their potential applications in chemical and materials science.
